To self-certify, a taxpayer merely completes a form (which will be released in the summer of 2018) and attaches that form to the taxpayer’s federal income tax return for the taxable year.

I have attached photos of what I would consider pertinent parts of my purchase and sale contract regarding realtor liability and mediation, as well as the part on risk of loss/insurance that reads something like if there is damage that is returned to it's former condition prior to sale, the Purchaser can accept that or has the option to terminate the contract... as I was not made aware of the damage taking place, I never had the option to terminate the contract, or accept if the condition was returned to it's original form.I emailed my closing attorney and I'm waiting to hear back, as well as waiting to hear back from my realtor as they were going to contact the seller's realtor to discuss this.Is this damage something I definitely should have been informed of?

This is an expansion of a product already available and the expansion is designed to compete with other lenders who have the same product ALREADY in place in those areas. also as @Bill F. mentioned the GFC wasn't because subprime as much because a supercharged derivative market that attached itself to it. anything can be a doomsday predictor if you want it to be, which this forum loves to do 2-3 times a week#theskyisnotfalling

We took out a 3.5% down FHA loan with a 3.75% interest rate.Aside from the potential in the neighborhood we were attracted to this particular house because of its attached in-law suite that would make a perfect short term rental.After moving in the beginning of October we got started sprucing up the in-law. 

I am attaching the pic that locates the crack.

A homeowner may be subject to more emotional attachment or need more control of the flip, which would be a nightmare.
